In Directorate General of Budget, two methods are used in formulating forecast of operational spending in Line Ministries to produce Indicative Budget. The first method uses the realization of line ministries operational spending two years prior to the planned fiscal year as the basis for the forecast. Whereas in the second method, the operational spending allocation is forecasted based on budget allocation in the APBN one year prior to the planned fiscal year.
